The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1887-11-23

Mime. La Foy reads the past, present,
and future at SO much per read. Love,
marriage, divorce. business, specula-
ton, and sickness are there handled
with the utmost impunity by Mime.
La Foy, the famous scientific astrolo-
gist," who has monkeyed with the plan
cts for twenty years, and if she wanted
any information has "read it In the
stars.
1 rang the bell the other day to see
if the door would open. IL did so after
considerable delay, and a pimply boy
in knee pants showed me up-stlirs into
the waiting-room. After awhile L was
removed to the consultation-room,
where Nine. La Foy, seated behind a
small oilcloth- covered table, rakes up
old personalities and prizes into the
future at cut rates.
Skirmishing about among the planets
for twenty years involves a great deal
of fatigue and exposure, to say nothing
OF the night work, and so Nine. La
Foy has the air of one who has put In
very busy life. She is as familiar
with planets, though, as you or l might
be with our own family. and calls them
by their first names. She would know
Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Adonis, or any
of the other fixed stars the darkest
night that ever blew.
Mime. La Foy de Graw," said /,
bowling with the easy grace of q gen.
tleman of the old school, would you
mind peering into the future for me
about half-dollar's worth, not neces-
sarily for publication, ct cetera."
Certainly not. What would you
like to know?"
"Why, want to know all can for
the money" said, in bantering tone.
"Of course l do not wish to know what
1 already know. 1t is what do not
now know that desire to know. Tell
me what do not know, madam. l will
detain you but moment"
She gave me back my large, round
half-dollar and told me that she was
already weary. She asked me to ex-
cuse her. She was willing to unveil
the future to me in her poor, weak
way, but she could not guarantee to
let large flood of light into the dark
ened basement of benighted mind for
half dollar.
you can tell me what year and on
what day of what month you were
born," said Nine. La Foy, "and will
outline your life to you. L generally
require lock of the hair, but in your
case we will dispense with it"
/ told her when | was born and the
circumstances as well as l could recall
them.
"This brings you under Venus. Mer-
curry, and Mars. These three planets
were in conjunction at the time of your
birth. You were born when the sign
was wrong and you have had more or
less trouble ever since. Had you been
born when the sign was in the head or
the heart, instead of the feet, you
would not have spread out over the
ground so much.
"Your health is very good, as is the
health of those generally who are born
under the same auspices that you were.
People who are born under the reign
of the crab are apt to be cancerous.
You, however, have great lung power
and wonderful gastric possibilities.
Yet, at times, you would be easily upset.
A strong cyclone that would unroof u
Court House or tip over q through
train would also upset you, in spite OF
your broad, firm feet, if the wind got
behind one of your ears.
"You will be married early and you
will be very happy, though your wife
will not enjoy herself very much. Your
wife will be much happier during her
second marriage.
"You will prosper better in business
matters without forming any partner
ships. Do not go into partnership with
small, dark man who has neuralgia
and fine yacht. He has abundant
means, but be will go through you like
an electric shock.
Tuesdays and Saturdays will be your
most fortunate days on which to bor-
row money of men with light hair
Mondays and Thursdays will be your
best days for approaching dark men.
Look out for low-set man accom-
panied by an Office cat, both of whom
are engaged in the newspaper business.
He prints the only paper that contains
the full text OF his speeches at testi-
monials and dinners given to other
people. Do not Lean him money on
any account.
"You would succeed we'll as a mu-
stefan or an inventor, but you would not
do we'll as poet You have all the
keen sensibility and strong passion of
a poet, but you haven't the hair. Do
not try poesy.
an the future see you very pros
porous. You are on the lecture plat
form speaking. Large crowds of people
are jostling each other at the box Office
and trying to get their money back.
"Then L see you riding behind a
flexible horse that must have cost
large sum of money. You are smoking
a cigar that has never been in use be-
fore. Then Venus bisects the orbit of
Mars, and 1 seq you going home with
your head tied up in the lap-robe, you
and your spirited horse in the same
ambulance.
"But do you see anything for me in
the future, Nine. La Foyer?" j asked,
taking my feet off the table, the better
to watch her features; anything that
would seem to indicate political prefer
ment-a reward for past services to
my country, as it were?"
mo, not clearly. But wait a mo-
ment. Your horoscope begins to get
little more intelligent. see you at the
